We have understood three things from the above example:• Production and productivity are two different things.• Increase in production does not necessarily mean increase in productivity.• Productivity is always associated with the context in which it is calculated. – For example, in the above case, we have calculated total productivity. While in another case, someone may like to know about material productivity or energy productivity.

18.
Conclusion• Productivity is a concept, whereas production is a fact.• Production is achieved by means of resources, productivity is measured through means of maximum manpower, machinery, financial support.• Production is a variable, dependent on many factors such as labour availability, motive power, etc. whereas productivity is the optimum measure of what or how much can be achieved or realized.
